Step-by-step guide
Download the Hello Stake app
Download the Hello Stake app from the App Store (iPhone) or Google Play (Android). You can also sign up on desktop at hellostake.com — the process is identical either way.
Tap 'Open an account'
Launch the app and tap 'Open an account'. You'll be guided through the sign-up flow which takes about 10–15 minutes in total. Have your ID ready before you start.
Enter your personal details
Provide your full legal name, date of birth, email address, mobile number, and Australian residential address. All fields are required for ASIC compliance.
Enter referral code jaymem884
When prompted for a referral or promo code, type jaymem884. This is what unlocks your free US stock and $10 trading credit. Don't skip this step — the bonus cannot be applied retrospectively.
Verify your identity
Upload a photo of your Australian driver's licence or passport, then complete a quick selfie for liveness verification. This step usually completes within minutes and is required by Australian financial regulation.
Fund your account (within 24 hours)
Transfer any amount to your Stake account via bank transfer or PayID. To qualify for the referral bonus, your account must be funded within 24 hours of completing sign-up. Any amount counts.
Spin the wheel and claim your free stock
Once your deposit is confirmed, a spin-the-wheel game unlocks in the app. Spin it to reveal which free US stock you've received — Nike (NKE), GoPro (GPRO), or Dropbox (DBX). Your $10 trading credit is applied automatically.
After you've signed up
Your free stock is a real share in either Nike (NKE), GoPro (GPRO), or Dropbox (DBX) — selected randomly via the in-app spin. It's credited directly to your portfolio, where it appears alongside any stocks you buy. You can hold it, sell it, or buy more of the same company.
The $10 trading credit appears in your account balance and can be used for any trade. It counts towards your buying power and behaves the same as deposited cash for trading purposes.
Exploring the platform: After funding, take time to explore the search function, watch list, and portfolio performance view. Stake's US market hours are 1:30am–8:00am AEST (standard time) and 12:30am–7:00am AEST (daylight saving). Orders placed outside these hours are queued and execute at open.
For ASX access: Stake Black (ASX trading) is available as a separate product within the same app. Check the app for current access requirements.
